Let’s head on on down to Harrison AR to find out what happened at the Northeast Arkansas Kennel Club’s two shows. Saturday Ann Hearn considered the Golden Retriever, Shorline Jetoca High Sea Adventure RN, the 15” Beagle, CH Shadynook McDreamy At Rkntooker, the Doberman Pinscher, CH Horizons Poetic Justice, the Norwich Terrier, CH Skyscots Poker Chip, the Havanese, CH Gingerbread Yukon Jack, the Schipperke, CH Dantes Fire When Ready HOF, and the Australian Shepherd, CH Clemwoods Nobel Laureate. Best was the Aussie, Pearl. It was just two weeks ago that Pearl and handler Paul Catterson picked up her first all breed BIS of the year. We suspect there will be more.

Sunday, James Reynold would see the same seven, but would be charmed by the Norwich, Pokey, awarding him his 15th career BIS, his fifth this year. Have you noticed that three dogs are in a dead heat for the Number Three Terrier (based on all breed points)?
